Shaper Studio Vancouver

Documenting the shaping and glassing process at Vancouver’s only surfboard studio, capturing the founders at work with an editorial, behind-the-scenes lens.

This series offered an intimate look into the artistry and grit of surfboard making, highlighting Shaper Studio’s role as a cultural outlier on BC’s coast. The imagery reflected the raw, hands-on spirit of surf culture in its most unfiltered form.
